Look at what is a "roof forke" in all metal, glorious orange in Home Depot's roofing department. It has 4 tines, looks just like a 4 tine garden fork, cost the same as a garden fork, a d js much hardier than a 4 tine garden fork. Some of that grass pribabky had a pretty good root system which, in nature is designed to break up the dirt. When cleaning a garden consider using a garden fork to lift the roots up through the dirt to take take of nature's tilling system.
